Company Description

Once a perennial favorite in the cell phone game, Motorola Solutions (formerly Motorola) hung up that business as mobile phone users enjoyed a wider selection of phones offered by industry leaders such as Nokia and Samsung. The company focused instead on products for business and government clients, including two-way radios, mobile computers, bar code scanners, and wireless broadband products used in private voice and data networks and public safety communications systems. More than half of sales come from customers in the US. Motorola changed its name to Motorola Solutions when it spun off its handset and set-top box units as Motorola Mobility in 2011.
